CCLR 1/2018 - 1.5°C target

2018-03-19

CCLR 1/2018 is a Special Issue on the legal aspects of the hotly debated 1.5°C target. All countries recognise the existence of climate change, its anthropogenic nature and the need for international action on climate change mitigation. Nevertheless, the level of global ambition on climate change mitigation has been the object of a protracted debate. This issue offers six in depth Articles on these ambitions. Specific topics of discussion include, the risk of unintended consequences, carbon pricing and its potential as an instrument of deep decarbonisation in line with the 1.5°C target and national legal frameworks which seek to turn NDCs into reality.
